$500
French crystal regulator, extraordi-
naire. Made with a combination of
green onyx, bronze, and cloisonné.
The case is 13" high, rests on four
bronze feet, with a block of green
onyx on the feet. The clock case, or
box, is bronze with onyx on the top.
The ornament on top is a piece of
metal with cloisonné attached. The
two front columns are cloisonné,
same with the dial ring, dial center,
and the two jar pendulum. All of the
bronze parts have elaborate cast
designs, i.e. leaves, vines, dentil
moldings, etc. There are four beveled
glasses, two perfect, one side glass
has a corner sliver, and the back glass
has a miniscule corner chip. The
green onyx appears to be perfect hav-
ing no chips, live mercury in the two jar pendulum, and a superlative and
very unusual dial, dial ring, dial center, and hands. Round French 8 day
movement, gong strike on hours and half hours, and running briskly. The
movement is signed, "Made In France", and, "A.1." ($1550) $1000-$2000.

French crystal regulator, in the usual
brass case but trimmed with cloisonné
and white stones. You must admit the
pendulum is also a little out of the
ordinary. The brass case is 11¼" high,
has four beveled glasses, all appear to
be perfect. There is cloisonné trim
around the top, base, and all four cor-
ners. Resembling #366, this clock
also has an unusual dial arrangement
with white stones around the dial,
brass dial ring with recessed numerals
and a great cloisonné piece in the cen-
ter. A pair of nice French hands, and
the dial is signed, "Shreve Crump &
Low, Co / Boston". Round French 8
day movement is clean and bright,
running briskly, striking a hanging
Cathedral gong on the half hours and hours. It is signed, "Japy Freres",
and "Made In France". What a great pendulum, cast bronze with ripple
around the edges, decorated with white stones, and in the center is a pic-
ture of a beautiful French woman. ($1250) $750-$1000.
